La Ciencia Política en Colombia, la construcción de una comunidad académica
Este libro aborda un escenario como es el presente en el que el pasado juega un papel relevante. También es una evidencia de la consolidación de una disciplina, la Ciencia Política, en Colombia. Siempre se ha dicho, con acierto, que un área del saber alcanza su madurez, o en términos del autor, la institucionalización disciplinar –autonomización y diferenciación–, cuando además tiene capacidad de autorreflexión, de pensarse y evaluarse así misma. Javier Duque lleva a cabo esa laboriosa tarea y plantea un fructífero diálogo entre la disciplina que lentamente va floreciendo en Colombia, al unísono de lo que ocurre en América Latina, con las tradiciones más asentadas de Europa y de Estados Unidos. Su perspectiva ecléctica en la metodología de la historia de la ciencia le lleva a ahondar minuciosamente en los cimientos que con timidez se van asentando a partir de 1968 en la maraña que construye el marxismo y una posición ciertamente reactiva al empirismo y a la cuantificación de lo político.
